A Fairytale Garden in Every Packet — Classic Cottage Blooms in a Dreamy Mix
Few flowers capture the romance of a classic cottage garden quite like Canterbury Bells. With their large, bell-shaped blooms in a soft, enchanting palette of lavender, pink, white, and deep violet, they bring a storybook quality to borders, cutting gardens, and bouquets that few other flowers can match. The Storybook Blend gathers the most beautiful colors into a single packet for a harmonious, painterly display that looks like it was lifted straight from the pages of an illustrated garden book.
Canterbury Bells (Campanula medium) are beloved biennial or annual flowers that produce tall, upright spikes densely packed with large, cup-and-saucer or single bell-shaped blooms in late spring to early summer. Their stately, architectural form and rich color range make them a staple of English cottage gardens and a prized cut flower for fresh and dried arrangements.

Growing Tips
Canterbury Bells are typically grown as biennials — sow seeds in late spring or early summer for blooms the following year — or as annuals by starting seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last frost for same-season blooms. Seeds need light to germinate; press onto the surface of moist seed-starting mix without covering. Transplant or thin to 12–18 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Stake taller plants in exposed locations. Deadhead spent blooms to extend the flowering period. Allow a few plants to self-sow for a naturalized, self-renewing cottage garden display.
A timeless cottage garden classic — beautiful in the garden, stunning in a vase.
